Quick answer

Grover Work is quoting, job and invoicing software for solar installers and solar sales companies. Build a proposal from your own price book, turn it into a job your crew and subcontractors can follow, and collect deposits and final payments online.

Solar Installers software built for the way you work

A solar sale is rarely one visit. There is the first call, the roof or site survey, the design, the proposal, the permit, the install, the inspection and the final payment. Each step has a different person involved and a different piece of paper. When it lives in texts, spreadsheets and a glovebox, things get lost, and the customer feels it.

Grover Work gives a solar sales and installation company one place for all of it. A lead from your website or a phone call is saved in a leads list. You build a proposal from your own price book, send it from your phone, and the customer accepts online. The accepted proposal becomes a job, and the finished job becomes an invoice with a payment link. Site photos, notes and customer details stay attached the whole way.

Most solar companies do not self-perform every trade. You may bring in an electrician for the tie-in, a roofer for flashing or repairs, or a crew for trenching a ground mount. Grover Work includes tools to help you work with subcontractors, and the job record keeps the scope, photos, notes and schedule in one place, so everyone who touches the job starts from the same information instead of a long text thread. This page covers how that fits a solar business day to day.

Common problems for solar installers businesses, and how they get fixed

Long sales cycles and lost follow-ups

A homeowner who asked for a solar quote in March may not decide until summer. If the lead sits in a notebook or an old text, it goes cold. A leads list with every request, call and website form in one place lets you follow up while they are still thinking.

Proposals that take evenings to build

System size, panel count, inverter, racking, battery option, permit fees and labor all have to be added up and typed out clearly. A price book of your standard items and rates turns a proposal into a repeatable job instead of a blank page each time.

Customers cannot picture panels on their own roof

A brochure shows a stranger's house. An AI render made from a photo of the customer's own roof helps them see one possible look before they decide. It is an illustration, not an engineered layout, and you still do the real design.

Subcontractors working from different information

The electrician has one version of the scope, the roofer has another and the crew lead has a third. Keeping scope, photos, notes and schedule on one job record cuts down the calls and the wrong-day, wrong-scope mistakes.

Cash tied up between deposit and final payment

Solar jobs carry big material costs and long waits for inspection and utility sign-off. Taking a deposit when the customer accepts, and sending staged invoices with payment links, keeps your cash moving through the job instead of waiting at the end.

How Grover Work works for solar installers

  1. A solar lead comes in

    A homeowner calls, texts or fills in the quote request form on your website. Save it as a lead with their address, roof notes and electric bill details, so no enquiry is lost and your team knows who is following up.

  2. Survey the site and take photos

    At the site visit, take photos of the roof, the electrical panel, the meter and the shade from trees or neighbors. Attach them to the customer record, so the designer, the sales rep and any subcontractor can see exactly what you saw.

  3. Send a clear proposal

    Pick your standard items from the price book, such as panels, inverter, racking, battery option, labor and permit fees. Write out the scope and send the proposal from your phone. The customer reviews and accepts online, and you can add a render of their own roof to help them picture it.

  4. Turn it into a job and line up the crew and subs

    The accepted proposal becomes a job. Add the install date, notes on access and roof pitch, and the photos from the survey. Bring in the electrician, roofer or extra crew with the same scope, so everyone works from one record.

  5. Install and document as you go

    Add progress photos of the racking, the array, the wiring and the finished system. Share a private link so the customer can follow along, and keep inspection and sign-off notes on the same job.

  6. Invoice and get paid

    Send an invoice with a payment link for the deposit, the install milestone or the final balance. The customer pays by card or bank from their phone, and the payment is matched to the invoice. Their history stays on file for service calls and referrals.

What you get with Grover Work

Proposals you can send in minutes

Build a proposal on your phone, send it to the customer and turn the accepted proposal into a job and an invoice without typing it again. The scope is written out so the customer knows what is included.

A price book of your own rates

Save your standard items and labor rates once, including panels, inverters, batteries, racking, EV chargers and permit work. Every proposal starts from numbers you already trust, so pricing stays consistent between reps.

Leads from your website in one list

Requests from your website land in a leads list alongside the calls and texts you save yourself. Reply fast, then turn a lead into a proposal.

Tools for working with subcontractors

Grover Work includes tools to help you work with subcontractors. The job record holds the scope, photos, notes and schedule, so the electrician, roofer or extra install crew you bring in can work from the same details as your own team.

Jobs with photos and notes

Keep site survey photos, install photos, notes and customer details on each job, plus a private link the customer can open to follow along. It gives you a clear record if a question comes up later.

Invoices customers can pay from their phone

Every invoice can carry a payment link for card or bank payment. Send a deposit invoice at acceptance and a final invoice when the work is done, and the payment is matched for you.

AI renders of the finished look

Show a customer an illustration of what panels could look like on a photo of their own roof. It helps a homeowner decide, but it is one possible result and not an engineered design.

Set up repeat visits for panel cleaning and system checks. A fast website hosted for you has a quote request form that feeds straight into your leads list. Refer another contractor and earn credit toward your fees.

Planning around the seasons

Solar installs often pick up in warmer, drier months when roofs are safe to work on, and many homeowners start asking about quotes when summer power bills arrive. Use slower winter weeks to follow up old leads, send proposals and plan your crews and subcontractors for spring.

Solar Installers questions, answered

How do I price a solar installation job?

Most solar companies price by system size, often as a cost per watt, then adjust for roof type and pitch, racking, inverter choice, battery storage, electrical upgrades, permit fees and any subcontractor work. Track your real material and labor costs on finished jobs so your numbers stay honest. Keep your standard items and rates in a price book so every proposal starts from the same trusted figures.

What should a solar proposal include?

A good solar proposal lists the system size, panel and inverter models, racking, any battery or EV charger, who handles permits and utility paperwork, the total price, payment schedule, a start window and warranty terms from the manufacturers and from your company. Add site photos and a plain description of the work. Customers compare several bids, so a clear written scope helps your bid stand out.

How do solar installers manage subcontractors?

Give every sub the same written scope, site photos, access notes and date before they arrive. Confirm who supplies materials, who pulls permits and who is on site for inspection. Keep it all on one job record, not scattered across texts. Grover Work includes tools to help you work with subcontractors, and the job record keeps the scope, photos, notes and schedule together.

How should I collect payments on a solar job?

Most solar jobs are paid in stages: a deposit at signing, a payment when equipment is delivered or the install is complete, and a final payment after inspection or utility sign-off. Put the schedule in the proposal so there are no surprises. In Grover Work, each invoice can carry a payment link, so customers pay by card or bank from their phone.

How do I follow up on solar leads without losing them?

Reply the same day, even if only to book a call. Save every lead with the address, roof notes and what the customer asked about. Follow up again after you send the proposal, and keep a list of leads who said not yet so you can check in later. A single leads list keeps cold enquiries from slipping away.

Can I show a customer what solar panels will look like on their roof?

Yes. Grover Work can generate an AI render from a photo of the customer's own property, so they can picture one possible look before committing. It is an illustration, not an engineered layout or a production estimate. Your site survey and system design still decide the real panel placement, and you should explain that to the customer.

How much does Grover Work cost for solar companies?

Grover Work has plans for solo installers and for growing teams. The pricing page always shows the current prices and what each plan includes, and you can look around and set up your first proposal before you decide on a plan. Check the pricing page for today's details, since plans can change.

Can I use Grover Work from the roof or the customer's driveway?

Yes. Grover Work is built for the phone first, so you can save a lead, take site survey photos, build a proposal, add job notes, send an invoice and collect payment from the truck or the driveway without going back to the office to do paperwork.
